Abstract:
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of different controlled
temperatures and analyze the measures and/or parameters of the controlled atmosphere
storage for fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. The effect of temperature, relative
humidity, gas composition and other impacting factors for fresh cucumbers and
tomatoes storage was also analyzed. The storage lives of fruits treated with
different temperatures and gas composition treatments (mainly including oxygen
and carbon dioxide) was investigated in the present work. Recommendation for
the controlled atmosphere storage suggested that optimal controlled atmosphere
storage measures and/or parameters for fresh cucumbers and tomatoes were as
following temperature (10-13°C, with a variation of ±1°C), relative
humidity (90-95%) and maintaining appropriate atmosphere or gas composition
(containing 6% oxygen and 15% carbon dioxide).
